1. Review of Relevant Anatomy and Gait Mechanics
In this chapter, clarification of terminology and identification of relevant osteology and myology as these topics relate to movement dysfunction of the lower quadrant will be covered. An overview of the kinematics of pronation and supination during normal and pathological gait will be discussed.
2. Evidence-Based Evaluation Techniques
In this chapter, an evidence-based series of unique tests that can efficiently and accurately assess foot and lower leg function will be discussed and demonstrated. A brief overview of the components of gait analysis utilizing a treadmill is included.
3. Evidence-Based Manual Therapy and Exercise Techniques
In this chapter, interventions that target potential mobility and/or strength/motor control deficits of the lower quadrant are covered. A brief review of the current evidence that supports manual therapy and its mechanisms of effectiveness is presented. Selected manual techniques utilizing instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) via the Graston Technique® and evidence-based therapeutic exercises that target foot intrinsic muscles are demonstrated.
4. Customizable Orthotics
In this chapter, a low-cost and efficient customizable orthotic system will be introduced as a vehicle to change the neurophysiology of the foot and ankle. Research supporting the efficacy of customizable orthotics is included. The evaluation techniques covered in Chapter 2 of this course will be demonstrated both prior to and then in conjunction with a customizable orthotic to illustrate the test/treat/retest philosophy of treatment.
